FF's Here's New Column

To start us with what is NEW in magical faeries, I want to share with you ....Doreen Sinnett's new "Chrystal" kneeling Fairy mold! She is incrediblel!!!    The mold set contains the beautiful Kneeling Body Mold, Chrystal 3/4 length arm mold, and the head mold, which contains 2 faces. One face with open eyes, and the other, half closed eyes.
At her site you can view a tutorial on assembling Chrystal. Doreen
also has beautiful iron on butterfly wings for all your faeries. The
beautiful wings can be ironed on to china silk, silk crepe, large
metallic ribbons or fabrics. Each design has a choice of gold metallic
outline or black outline. They can be colored with bright, waterproof
felt pens or fabric dyes, or just left plain. They are truly stunning!

Doreen also has 3 other new molds available!   She also has a brand
new, all porcelain, leg mold called, "Arial bent legs". These legs with
fit "Arial" as well as most of Doreens Lady molds. You can see more
of these new molds at www.doreensinnettdolls.com/newmolds.html
